Abstract
As students face many obstacles in their educational journey, it is agreed upon that literacy achievement is an essential skill for all humans. Once students are able to read fluently they can focus on reading to learn for a purpose. With numerous factors affecting literacy development, it is important to scaffold students learning to meet their needs in order to acquire necessary reading skills. The focus of this project is to improve fluency through a scaffolded model in order to focus attention on reading to learn as lifelong learners. Fluency and its components: accuracy, rate, and prosody, is an important indicator of reading achievement. ”Fluency is often seen as a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. It has been established as an important indicator of overall reading competency” (National Reading Panel, 2000).
